the dragon one is for sale…if it doesn’t sell I’m donating it…

the one with the baby is being donated at this time…

I am making many more bibs and will be trying my hand at embroidering onsies too!

Flying Piggy Bib

1st of many I hope!

Found 10 bibs at Target for 11 bucks so I bought the bright set. There’s also pastels and boy brights…will be going back for those! Found the set of 7 flying pigs on the web…for free! Plan on making a set of flour sack towels for the kitchen with the flying pigs too!

Tie Dying Quilt Backs

Totally dyed this thanksgiving morning…after making the dressing and readying the bird I set to dying 4 big white sheets to use for quilt backings.  Scarlet and Teal for boy quilts, and hot pink and purple for girl quilts.  Of course when purchasing the sheets I must not have been paying attention since one of the sheets turned out to be a fitted sheet…UGH!

Shamus was nice enough to nap out of the way while I tied up the sheets using ribbon. 11-25-10

Teal

and hot pink I dyed on the stove top in the stock pot,

scarlet

and purple in the sinks…a little too much detergent added to the purple.  11-25-10

I love the brightness of the color right out of the dye bath! 11-25-10

All done and ready to be chopped up for baby lovies! 11-25-10

whim fabric

fabrics bought on a whim over the past year make for bright yummy preemie quilts!  This is one of 2 preemie sized quilts.  Both will look the same, perhaps different quilting on the 2nd one. I purchased the hot pink velvety fabric on a whim during one quilt shop purchasing adventure and the Easter looking fat quarter flannels on another.  machine pieced and quilted…this in number one of my self imposed FINISH at least one quilt per  2-3 days to use up all the flannel I cut this past weekend.  this quilt is 30 inches by 24 inches…slightly larger than regulation preemies lovies but will make a great drag along when the wee baby becomes a toddling toddler! this will go to: http://danettesangels.tripod.com

I’ve been buying baby stuff, new and gently used all late summer and fall and basically putting it all in the ‘baby’ laundry basket since I don’t have a box to load it all in yet…didn’t realize just how much I had in there till this weekend when I made the fleece lovies.  Was going to do a small load of baby stuff to pre-wash before shipping and lo and behold I have a LARGE load instead…

Um I didn’t pre-wash the photo album or the door hanger, LOL

Look at all the fun greens!  Girlie greens and boy green! even a satin and velvety lovie!

I know the little summer dress is a SUMMER dress but a long sleeved onsie under it and it would be fine for fall/winter!

speaking of onsies…here’s a pile mom found at Wal-Mart!

LOVE all the color combinations now!  not just pink and blue for wee babies anymore!

Hmmm…I think I’ll have to work on locating more boy stuff!
